Our projects always start with a story

The Alpine environment represents one of the most sensitive and meaningful contexts for addressing the challenges of sustainable development. Home to around 13 million people and shared by eight European countries, the Alps are among the largest and most complex territories of the continent from a natural, cultural, and economic perspective. With high biodiversity and landscapes shaped by centuries of human-nature interaction, these territories today face increasing pressures from climate change and intensive land use, calling for forward-looking and integrated strategies.

Haus der Jugend (HdJ) introduces a bold, six-story form into Vienna’s fragmented urban fabric. It becomes a landmark of urban openness and orientation, creating a social, accessible, and sustainable landmark dedicated to youth, community life, and climate-resilient public space.

GrünNEUsiedl envisions a new urban model for Rothneusiedl, combining agriculture, ecology, and urban life on Vienna’s fringe. Instead of a monolithic extension, the district grows from historical roots into a polycentric, green, and climate-responsive neighbourhood defined by local identity, mobility, and a deep integration of productive landscapes.

Urban Fabric Lörrach transforms a former industrial site into a mixed-use, climate-resilient district. Weaving together heritage, innovation, and sustainability, the project reconnects Brombach with the city center, setting a new standard for adaptable urban regeneration through timber modularity, inclusive public space, and a robust framework for industrial evolution.

“Semmering 2030+ Model” is an innovative approach to landscape architecture that aims to preserve the natural beauty of the Semmering region while creating sustainable recreational and leisure opportunities. By combining environmental sustainability with cultural heritage, the project’s goal is to promote a harmonious balance between people and nature.

The beach resort in Poreč, designed by architect Boris Podrecca in close cooperation with WERFT, is currently under construction. The landscape concept defines strategic guidelines, focusing on integrating green areas and implementing nature-based solutions to preserve the natural environment and provide sustainable solutions to ecological challenges.
